John Fury compares Tommy Fury's boxing ability to Gennady Golovkin

John Fury has compared son and Tyson Fury's half-brother, Tommy, to Gennady Golovkin (GGG) - one of the best pound for pound fighters on the planet. Tommy makes his boxing return to the ring on Saturday night on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte.

Fury has spoken of his eagerness to prove his doubters wrong on Saturday night. Fury has not fought since his win over Anthony Taylor back in August, on Jake Paul's undercard - in which many saw as an unconvincing performance. He has admitted himself that he was not pleased with his last two victories, and although he remains undefeated, he is keen to show his boxing skills when he steps in the ring at Wembley.

The former Love Island star comes up against Polish veteran Daniel Bocianski in what will be one of the first fights on the card. It will be Fury's first fight since his cancelled bout with American star Paul - they had been scheduled to meet December, but Fury was forced to withdraw from the bout having suffered a broken rib and struggling with a bacterial chest infection. Instead, Paul's former opponent Woodley stepped up to replace Fury and Paul landed a knockout shot on the former UFC champion.

Kazakhstani boxer Golovkin have won every fight besides two - a draw and a loss to Canelo Alvarez - in which many people that GGG should have won both on the judges decision.
